Under the Thorns

About

Clara takes a job at a remote manor where thirteen maids vanished before her. Players navigate a visual narrative filled with tense dialogue choices and eerie reveals. Each decision shapes Clara’s relationship with the reclusive employer while uncovering the property’s dark history. The game blends atmospheric storytelling with branching paths that influence outcomes, requiring careful attention to clues hidden in voice tones and background details. Developed by EVERIUM and launching on PC, Mac, and web browsers in June 2024, the game leans into slow-burn suspense over action. Community playtests highlighted its unpredictable plot twists and layered character dynamics, though pacing may test patience for players seeking fast-paced thrills. With single-player focus and a runtime of around 10-15 hours, it appeals to fans of psychological intrigue and branching narratives.
